Youth Development: Can you help?

Wed, 07/12/2011 - 11:18 — Jon Diamond

Our most pressing requirement is for people to help with a number of activities in our Youth Development area, helping Paul Smith. Some of these are smallish activities and can be done from your own home, so if you can spend some time please contact Paul to discuss what he needs and how he can fit the time you have available and the sort of thing you would like to do in to his programme of activities.

Specific activities that have been identified currently, that we don't have specific resources for (money is not an issue), are:

Helping with the update of our schools contact list

Junior website pages editor

Production of youth/schools workbook/syllabus, possibly linked to awarding of kyu certificates

Organising International online friendly matches (Germany have already offered to play us)

Restarting a youth newsletter as paper and/or e-mail

Establishing a programme of youth mentoring/teaching

Creating a Joining pack for junior BGA members

The Youth Championship and Go Challenge will go ahead in 2012, with Tony Atkins being the principal organiser. If you'd like to help with one or both of these please contact Paul or Tony directly.
